Yesterday was Labor Day in the United States. Labor Day is a national holiday that shows respect尊敬to workers. “Labor” is another word for work, especially hard work.
In 1882, members of the New York Central Labor Union thought it was a good idea to have a day celebrating workers. Since there were four long months between the national holidays for Independence Day(July 4th)and Thanksgiving(fourth Thursday in November), the union decided to create a holiday in between.
The first Labor Day was on September 5, 1882. In 1894, the US passed a law-making Labor Day a national holiday. Labor Day is now celebrated on the first Monday in September.
Celebrating Labor Day myself yesterday, I was reminded of two common idioms(习语)that include the word “labor.”
“Labor of Love”
A “labor of love” is something you do because you enjoy doing it, not because you can earn money from it.
“Fruits of Labor”
The “fruits of labor” refers to the rewards(回报)you get as a result of your work.
If you start a business and work hard at it and it becomes successful, you can enjoy the fruits of your labor, including the money and satisfaction that you’ve got.
1.The main idea of the second paragraph is ________.
A.the meaning of Labor Day B.how Labor Day got started
C.when Independence Day is D.the national holidays in the US
2.When did the author write the article
A.On September B.On Monday C. On September D.On Tuesday.
3.Which of the following can best explain the idiom “labor of love”
A.Tom is fixing his old car because he wants to sell it.
B.Tom is fixing his old car because it is enjoyable work.
C.Tom is fixing his old car because his dad asked him to
D.Tom is fixing his old car because he needs a car to drive!
4.The underlined word “it” refers to ________.
A.the business B.the work C.the labor D.the money
C

The Secret of happiness
1 Money and success alone do not bring lasting (长久的) happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
2 Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present (现在). You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. 3
Another secret to leading a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies that can help you forget your problems. Many people experience this by dancing or playing a sport, such as skating or playing. 4__
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to help others. 5 You can help a friend with his or her lessons, go shopping to buy food for your family members, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
A.The second secret of happiness is to do more exercise.
B.If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone.
C.People who have brothers and sisters are happier than others.
D.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.
